Eduardo's Natural Pizza on North Ave. in Oak Park have very very wonderful deep dish pizza. My relatives from Georgia always ask if we can have it for a special treat. Even ordered several for a family Christmas party. No complaints.

The liquor store near Cesar's pizza (loved it, the sausage pizza was the best!) on Randolph in Forest Park was Phil's Liquors. Phil was a good to all and he lived right in the neighborhood.

Deep dish may actually have the advantage (in this context) of being a little less crisp than thin crust pizza, Mari, and so if it's delivered, it may not feel as "soggy" as the pizza Mimi gets from Spizzico (assuming she gets thin crust).

Another vote for Old World Pizza's deep dish pizza. Best deep dish in the area by far.

Every time we get pizza delivered from Spizzico, it's soggy.

Puree's is my kids' favorite pizza. Plus, purchases on Wednesday benefit Beye School throughout the year (thanks, Puree!) Weve never had their delivery!

"It's not tipping I believe in," Q, as Steve Martin said in My Blue Heaven, "It's over-tipping." Still, I doubt that we order delivery pizza frequently enough to establish a reputation of any sort with drivers (among whom, I'm guessing, there's fairly high turnover). I have no recollection of Cesar's, unfortunately; sorry I missed it.

Puree's on Lake for stuffed. I had the best stuffed pizza in my life several years ago from there - marinated garlic. Mancini's on Lake makes a very thin NY style pizza that I enjoy. Anthony's on Cermak Rd is good. As mentioned by others, Spizzico and Salerno's are good.

Good call, OP Child. Cesar's was excellent. Do you remember the small package liquor store next door? I can't think of the name.

David Hammond, if you aren't a tipper or lack a decent tip, the drivers know that, and that may be why your cheese left the crust on one of the drivers fast right or left turns. Try Salerno's, they make a good pizza.

The best pizza ever in the area was Cesar's Pizza on Randolph w of DesPlaines. Great thin crust, fresh toppings, fast free delivery to OP, and a family friendly dining room. The Cesario's were great people, too. Really miss that place. Today, it's Jimmy's Place and Salerno's....

Home Made Pizza Co. They deliver--you have to heat it up, but it's worth it, and so so good. Beats the soggy/burnt stuff you get around town. Also, believe it or not, their whole wheat crust is delicious! I wouldn't have believed it, but my health-freak spouse ordered it, and I was hungry so I had to try it. YUM.

Dan, I delivered for Pat's Pizza when it operated at the same address back in the early 70s. My folks rarely ordered out for our family of nine. We were "treated" on occasion to John's frozen cheese pizza that my mother had purchased from Jim's Finer Foods. I was a stockboy there in the 60s.

Jim, Pizza Pallazo from Madison Street may reopen? That would be great. Before that the place was called Pizza Maker. Also great. Anyone remember what was in that location way back when? The 1960s. I think of it as the first pizza parlor in Oak Park. Not that my family bought a single meal out during that 6-kids and Mrs. Paul's fish sticks era.

The best pizza and delievery is Spizzico on North Ave. in Elmwood Park. The crust is thin and crispy and the sausage is some of the very best I have had. The cheese is plentiful and fresh tasting. Try it, you'll like it. Joan

I am of a school of thought that I'd have to be near death to have food delivered. That said you will never receive "crap" from Bertolli's, Spizzico, or Salerno's.

There are no good pizza places in Oak Park so the request for delivery is mute. Jimmy's Place on Madison has great basic pizza and I believe they now deliver. Antiqo (sp) Forno in EWP on North just east of Binny's has wood oven and wonderful 10" pizza and terrific food too.

Lately we have been liking the 2 for 1 pizza deal on Tuesday nights at Trattoria 225, but you have to dine-in or carry out. It's thin crust and ready in about 15-20 minutes. We've liked LaBella's pizza for delivery, or Giordano's in the past. Nice to hear about other places on this discussion.

20 years ago our son was managing Geppettos and they were tops in Chicago. Our son went on to greener pastures and Gepppettos quality and consistency has suffered. I would highly recommend Old World Pizza in Elmwood Park for deep dish/pan and probably Amatos for thin crust.

I miss Pizza Palazzo. The phone message indicates they plan to reopen. An excellent thin crust pie and never a problem with delivery. Stuffed pizza by Giordano's is good and they get to your home in a hurry.

Albano's on Roosevelt Rd in Cicero. They have been good. Salerno's and Jimmy's too. Geppetto's is good for pan or stuffed. The thin was terrible also they run inconsistent too. Bertoli River pizza we have liked also!

Npt only does Bertoli have great pizza, he is a very nice guy to all.

Bertolli's is definitely a place we should try: it's local, been by a hundred times; never ordered from them, but will. Geppetto's has been inconsistent for me; I've had great pizza there, but it seemed to decline at one point (or maybe I just hit them on a bad day). Old World I didn't know existed - appreciate all the hints.

Try Bertolli's River Pizza in the little strip mall on Lake Street in RF. I'm talking delivery. The dining room is well ...

I really like Armand's but their prices are outrageous. I like Old World's pan pizza. Their thin crust is middle of the road.

I'm partial to Labella, Geppetto's and Salerno's in no particular order.

Spizzico's

SALERNOS. Amazing don't waste your time with anything else.

I should also say that Amato's will do your pizza extra crispy if you like it that way. And on request will pie cut. Amato's in Chicago on Harlem

Amato's - love them. Sometimes Jimmy's place.

Costco- Pick up only. 18" any kind you want. $10.90 out the door. Pre order and pick up. Not the 'best' ever but worth every penny.

Old World Pizza in Elmwood Park, by far. 7230 W. North Ave (towards the back of the strip mall). Small place, a few tables if you prefer to dine in. I have been ordering from there for at least 15 years.
